Nic Nassuet and The Nothing: A Band on the Brink of Chaos and Creativity

As Nic Nassuet steps into a new era of music, leaving behind his Hollywood roots, there’s a certain unpredictability brewing around his latest project: The Nothing. Known for his eerie yet captivating presence as “The King of Gothic Folk,” Nassuet is now helming a rock/punk/metal band that promises to push the boundaries of both sound and spectacle. Joining him on this daring venture are Marc Craine from San Diego, Ray Church, and Zach Caine—all skilled musicians with diverse backgrounds, though it’s their first time collaborating in this particular formation.

Though The Nothing has yet to release any official music, anticipation is bubbling over, with tracks in production slated to drop next year. What makes this new band particularly intriguing is their focus on crafting a mysterious and otherworldly image, playing into themes of horror-punk and gothic metal. This isn’t just about creating music; it’s about building an entire experience designed to leave audiences yearning for more.

The most striking example of this calculated enigma is their upcoming performance on September 26th, 2024, at an unlikely venue: Lansing State Prison. In an event that defies all expectations, Nassuet and his bandmates are set to perform behind bars, turning a prison yard into the stage for a show that’s part rebellion, part raw energy. As bizarre as it sounds, it’s all part of their strategy to generate FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) for their future tours and releases. The fact that no one outside of the prison population can attend only heightens the allure of the band’s image.

“This is going to be something truly special,” Nassuet teased, hinting at the kind of intensity that will become the hallmark of The Nothing’s performances. Known for pushing boundaries, he and his fellow band members—Craine, Church, and Caine—are poised to make this one-of-a-kind prison show the first of many unforgettable experiences to come.

For Nassuet, who has transitioned from his Grammy-balloted folk music career to the frontman of a rock/punk/metal band, this represents a thrilling new chapter in his journey. As he adapts to life in Topeka, Kansas, after years in the limelight of Hollywood, The Nothing embodies his desire to start fresh while retaining the dark, emotional undercurrents that have defined his past work.

While fans may have to wait until next year for official releases, The Nothing is setting the stage—quite literally—with this prison performance, ensuring that when their music finally hits the airwaves, it will come with a rush of pent-up energy, drama, and a sense of the unknown.
